This is very clever satire, not only
on the prevalent mania for divorce, but
also on the ca "a with which divorces are
obtained, the ridiculous grounds upon
which legal separations are obtained be-
ing burlesqued in a most laughable
manner. The fashionable follies of the
matrimonial world are hit off in some
what randsom though effective wav.
The purpose of the author is to strike at
the disease of divorce if 1t has reached
the stage of disease, and to mend mat.
Jers in the marriage state by showing the
married that what they magnify into
very grave evils are after all, mere
trites. Mr.. Bryce has woven very
readable story, and one which should
cure those in whom the symptoms OF
divorce are manifesting themselves.
